According to the report, 79% Indians have a favorable view of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, including 55% who hold a “very favorable” view.
A Pew Research Center study of more than 30,000 people in 24 countries, including India, released on Tuesday found that 46% respondents worldwide had a favorable view of India, while a large majority of Indians surveyed (68%) said India’s global influence is getting stronger.
According to the report, 79% Indians have a favorable view of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, including 55% who hold a “very favorable” view. “…In comparison, a median of 37% in 12 countries, most of which are middle-income, report having confidence in Modi to make the right foreign policy choices,” the report stated.
The report noted: “Opinions of Modi are mixed, with a median of 40% saying they have no confidence in Modi to do the right thing regarding world affairs and a median of 37% saying they have at least some confidence. Substantial minorities in most countries did not share an opinion, and respondents in Europe were not asked about the Indian leader.”
